Summary
On today’s show, we take your questions on how to handle people who insist on hugging when you'd rather not, when family gatherings become focused on who's missing instead of who's present, and what to do when fellow party guests drink all your Pellegrino. For Community members, we've got a bonus question about beach etiquette and dealing with an aggressive dispute over hotel beach chair setups. Plus your weekly challenge, an etiquette salute from Charlie, and a postscript segment on etiquette essentials for kids. Subscribe - emilypost.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.
